The SIMULA programming language was designed and built by Ole-Johan Dahl
|
|
and Kristen Nygaard at the Norwegian Computing Centre (NCC) in Oslo
|
|
between 1962 and 1967.1 It was originally designed and implemented as a
|
|
language for discrete event simulation, but was later expanded and
|
|
reimplemented as a full scale general purpose programming language.
|
|
|
|
Although SIMULA never became widely used, the language has been highly
|
|
influential on modern programming methodology. Among other things SIMULA
|
|
introduced important object-oriented programming concepts like classes and
|
|
objects, inheritance, and dynamic binding.
